Riff: Justin Bieber – “As Long As You Love Me”

As long as you love me, we could be starving/we could be homeless, we could be broke

Just what the world needed – Biebstep. At least his voice has dropped. Supposedly an homage to Justin Timberlake‘s Future Sex/Love Sounds, this track is really just riding the dubstep train alongside commercials for K-Mart, Weetabix, Samsung, Internet Explorer, and the rest of music’s cutting edge.
